Hubert de Bouard 2003 Bordeaux, ~$11 at Wine Library ***. Becoming a reliable weekday favorite, chez nous. Satisfyingly complex for this price point. Well balanced, with a nice, medium-long, concentrated finish. 2003, so all the fruit you'd expect. Cherry cola and a touch of vanilla, but not in an annoying way. Benefits from decanting, if you can resist that delicious, funky, freshly-opened Bordeaux smell. And I can't.
